Congrats. Inspiring transformation.

In my humble opinion.... Don't search for a workout that burns the most. You might find it boring and dread doing it. Consider finding a workout that you will enjoy and look forward to. Your burn will differ from others depending on your gender, weight, and body type. Also consider purchasing a heart rate monitor. MFP…

CONGRATS! That is a fantastic NSV!!!

I do Les Mills Pump which is a lifting program. I'm leaner and stronger. I don't have any masculine muscles going on here. :D

Matagorda County here. :)

I have 3 kids. 2 natural birth and 1 c-sec. The pic with purple is back in Sept when I first got serious about working out and eating right. The one in black is 2 weeks ago. So a little less than 4 months of serious dedication. I still have a long way to go though. But it's a start.

Bump. :)

I am currently doing a TurboFire/ Turbo Jam mix (mostly TurboFire- following the calendar). Cardio Only Workouts- 2 days per week Strength & Cardio- 4 days per week Stretch- 40 minutes on Thursday I also walk about a 40 minute round trip to pick up kids on school days when weather permits. Trying to teach kiddos to enjoy…

M/F? F Age? 30 Height? 5'3" Start weight? 214 Goal weight? 125 (but I made it down to 123) Time it took? 5 years (on and off) Aloted daily calories? 1350 calories (I didn't understand net back then.) Did your aloted calories change with loss? I went back and forth between 1200 to 1350. Did/do you eat back your…

I did Turbo Jam for 5 years and lost 3/4 of my weight with this program (mixed with Zumba). Now I am into Turbo Fire. I am currently going into week 9. I love Chalene's programs. I am toying with whether I should continue on through 20 weeks & buy the advanced set of TurboFire or trying Chalene Extreme.

Yes. :D & lovin' it. I am going into week 9 right now.

I have been working out at home for 5+ years now. I have done Turbo Jam, Zumba, and now I am going into wk9 of TurboFire. I have lost 91 lbs working out at home. :D It can be done. Good luck to you.

Hi. I have lost 91 lbs. I am a mother of a soon to be 8 year old, a 6 year old, and a 15 month old. I am maintaining and looking for friends who are trying to maintain. :) I have a great group of friends right now. However, I am the only one with the goal of maintaining and it is a little lonely. Feel free to add me. :D

Hey there. I am already friends with you on MFP... but I am looking to connect with others who eat and live healthy especially if when it comes to taking care of family, as well. http://facebook.com/MaryVernonCannon

How much have you lost? 91 lbs How long have you been maintaining for? Almost 2 months. Do you find it harder to maintain or to lose weight? So far... yes and no. Yes because when I eat healthy and pay attention to calories I lose. When I splurge a little here and there with junk, I maintain. No because I get to eat more…

Thank you. :) I just didn't know if it was okay to go up and down with calories or if I needed to stick within a certian range.

Ooo. Me! I feel goofy working out in front of my husband. It used to bug me when the kids would venture in to see me workout but now I am comfortable with them joining me. I just have to figure out how to get used to hubby coming in. I used to work out on the days he worked. However, I have gone from 3 or 4 days of working…

Overweight- I was told to learn how to push away from the table. Or every time I see you there is food in your hand. I had 2 kids. I doubt the baby puffs were for me. Healthy weight- When will enough be enough. I am at 125 which is my goal weight so I am maintaining. But this person made it seem like I had an addiction to…

Turbo Jam or TurboFire :)

He actually kind of got on my nerves with all his emotional hoop-lah. I read the 1st book and just could not get into it, so I didn't read the other 2. I did enjoy how the writer did the whole Ana dialogue with her inner selves. That was funny.

I am on week 5 of TurboFire and the workouts can be killer. :) That is a great NSV! Congrats. Keep up the good work.

I see a difference. :D Keep it up girlie! Good work.

Thank y'all so much. You have no idea how much better I feel hearing that my burns are normal. :) I was starting to worry I wasn't putting as much effort as I felt I was into my workouts. I thought that I was safe with setting it to female and my stats, but the low #s were stressing me out. And I don't to spend extra $ to…

I am doing Turbo Jam and TurboFire. :) I have noticed the inaccuracy of the calories burned on this site versus the calories burned on the HRM. However, I didn't expect that big of a difference. And it confuses me because I lost 80+ lbs using the calories burnt according to MFP. So to switch over to a HRM and see how…

Bump. :)

I am doing a mixture of Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire. I'd like be among others who enjoy Turbo Jam. I have been Turbo Jamming for several years now. I love it.

:) I am ending week 4. So far I am very happy with my decision to start this program. I have lost 1 in in my waist and bust and .5 in my hips.

Count me in. TurboFire HIIT 20 & Stretch 10- Done! :)

It certainly can be done. It may take a while... but if you don't give up... you can do anything you set your mind to.

I don't avoid any food I want unless I am already close to my calorie limit for the day. The only thing I avoid like the plague is soda. It tends to hurt my stomach. Other than I eat just about everything that I used to before starting my healthy lifestyle. The only difference is I have 1 serving or 1/2 a serving. In the…
